White or Pink Foam?

[GreenDiesel]

Rob:  Is the white foam the type with little plastic balls stuck together?  I would avoid this except for packing.  When you cut it, the little balls all pull apart and you can't get a smooth edge. (plus mess)
The pink or blue foam is what I use.*
You might want to get a hot-wire cutting tool. Woodland Scenics makes one that does for a certain distance.  Be well ventilated. They also make a foam glue that works well.

Ask H D if they have any damaged or broken bits cheap. They can be used to build things up.

* the colour is different brands.  I visited one layout where they made a hill of alternating colours.

Thanks, David. Good to be in touch again!

I don't think this is packing foam that you'd see around an appliance. It's thicker but a bunch of small balls do flake off when you cut it. But I'm not really planning to cut it much. I'll try to post some pics...
